Central Shahid Minar, a monument for the martyred of mother language who laid down their lives for mother language in 21st February 1952, is the national symbol of patriotism and one of the national spiritual places. The architect of Central Shahid Minar is Hamidur Rahman. It is situated at the DU campus & beside the DMC outdoor gate. I think we should keep this place free from any chaos and keep it neat & clean. Everyone should try to be responsible for self responsibility for country and countryman.

This is one of the historical place in Bangladesh, situated in the capital city Dhaka to show respect the martyrs of movement for our mother language Bangla. This is a nice place but cleanliness could be better. Responsible authority shoud take care of it but public responsibility is not to make the place dirty.

National Monument. It is the symbol of the movement of mother language, the sacrifices of lives for establishing the right to speak and communicate officially in mother tongue. This movement built the foundation of the mass uprising in 1969 and the liberation war of 1971. This monument has numerous replica monuments all over the country and beyond. The monument area is very attractive and worth visiting.

Central Shaheed Minar is not just only a place of honour but also a place of symbolic dignity and heroism. This place represents the heroic sacrifice of Bangali youth and freedom lover people. It shows us the sprit of Bangali to protest the oppressors at any situation when needed. It represents the Bangali braveness Against all enemy who are trying to capture our country and our mother language Bangla. Pakistani brutal army and government tried their best to grabbed our language and imposed Urdu as Bangladeshi primary language but here people didn’t accept the proposal and fought for the language. This Shaheed Minar expresses all the memory of those days and holds our glory to the world.
